- Dark green alcove hues to visually enhance the existing brick. Previously painted black, but has now been beautifully sandblasted and coated in a clear matt lacquer brick varnish to help minimise airborne loose material. - Various bricks were chopped out and replaced prior to work due to age related deterioration. - Dining room floor was previously original orange squared quarry tiles and soil. A damp proof membrane was installed to help enhance and retain heat during winter, whilst also minimising the risk of damp progressing. - Dining room floor finish was silver-lined with matt lacquered engineered wood panels. Engineered wood flooring is more appropriate for older properties due to their damp proof lining fused into the wood panel. - a course of bricks were chopped out spanning the length of the dining room from the exterior due to previous damp present. An extra 2 courses of engineered blue brick were introduced due to the exterior slope of the driveway. This has so far seen the damp disappear which allowed the room to be re-plastered and painted. - Original features previously removed from dining room were reintroduced such as coving, plaster ceiling rose and original 4 panel moulded doors.

This project is a customer case located in Manila, the Philippines. The client's residence is a 95-square-meter apartment. The overall interior design style chosen by the client is a fusion of Nanyang and French vintage styles, combining retro elegance. The entire home features a color palette of charcoal gray, ink green, and brown coffee, creating a unique and exotic ambiance. The client desired suitable pendant lights for the living room, dining area, and hallway, and based on their preferences, we selected pendant lights made from bamboo and rattan materials for the open kitchen and hallway. French vintage pendant lights were chosen for the living room. Upon receiving the products, the client expressed complete satisfaction, as these lighting fixtures perfectly matched their requirements. I am sharing this case with everyone in the hope that it provides inspiration and ideas for your own interior decoration projects.
